Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Thomas Jones needs just 27 yards to become the only Bears running back to rush for at least 1,300 yards in a season other than Walter Payton, who did it nine times. He won't remain in the game long after he reaches that milestone. Cedric Benson is active, but it's not clear if he'll play.
